Stephen Sondheim’s 1973 Broadway musical is a romantic farce about the lives of upper-middle-class couples set in early 20th century Sweden.

The couples, mismatched at the start, end up with more desirable partners by the final curtain. Sondheim’s score features his best-known song, “Send in the Clowns.” A Little Night Music won a Tony Award in 1973 for best musical.
